Installation via the Jar file
The Java installers are executable jar files that can be used to install the Open ANC and the ANC Tool. On most operating systems you should be able double click on the .jar file. If that does not work, open a command prompt (Windows) shell (Linux), or terminal window (Max OS X) and run the command:
java -jar OANC-installer.jar
Installation Notes
File dialog boxes in Java are implemented slightly differently on different platforms. For instance, the “Open File” dialog box in Mac OS X does not allow the user to create a directory from within the dialog. Therefore on Mac OS X, users must do one of the following:
- Create the installation directory before running the installer. In this case the installer will warn you that the directory already exists when you select it. It is ok to ignore this warning.
- Select the directory where you want the OANC directory created from within the installer, and then manually append the name of the directory to be created.
- Type the full path to the installation directory manually.
